The Following Occurred last night between 7PM and 10PM:
I watched 4 episodes of “24” in a row and my BACK GOT REALLY STIFF!
“24” is programmed on my DVR – it’s there waiting to be played back! I couldn’t resist!
Jack Pain:
While watching 3 hours of Jack Bauer, my other DVRS – my muscles -were at work recording as well! All muscles are all hard-wired into our spinal cord & subconscious brain to MEMORIZE our most commonly performed actions.
After 3 hours on the couch, I was shaped like – my couch!
OUCH!!
“Muscle Memory” is usually quite handy – imagine how difficult life would be if we had to learn to tie our shoes EVERY TIME! Shoe Tying is pattern that just gets PLAYED BACK.
Here is where the Trouble comes in. Whatever happens most gets recorded and replayed – Well, for most of us that’s SITTING - at work, behind the wheel OR in front of the ol’ flatscreen.
Our back and necks hurt & our muscles inexorably stiffen because we are
constantly subconsciously assuming the shape of our CHAIRS!
The Muscular Aging Process is really a growing divergence between what our OPTIMAL Posture should be and what NORMAL Postures become habituated.
The SOLUTION is EXERCISE Like a DVR.
Exercise, in DVR terms, is a process of
A) Erasing Unwanted Muscular Recording
B) Recording Something Good for US
The Lesson This Week: Exercising a few times a week at the gym will not keep you pain-free. You have to Plan handfuls of small drills to do a few times daily opposing the preponderance of sitting we all do in modern life.
What do we do?
